It Sounds Like Reid Is Planning To Sell Out The Public Option  —  Sen. Harry Reid (credit: TalkRadioNews via Flickr)  —  It looks like Harry Reid is getting ready to sell out the labor unions, the progressive community, the Democratic base, and the majority of the American people.
New York Times:
Democrats Clinch Vote for Health Debate  —  WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats said they had clinched the votes needed on Saturday to propel major health care legislation to the floor for weeks of full debate, as the majority party's two last holdouts said they would not block consideration of President Obama's top domestic initiative.

Reid Slams Broder As A Retiree Who ‘Writes A Column Once In A While’  —  Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid may have just endeared himself to liberal bloggers across the land.  This morning, he took some heat from Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who cited a Washington Post column to attack health care reform:

Glenn Beck reveals the Plan  —  What an amazing few days on the road this has been.  Your spirits have been high, your faith strong and your spine unbendable.  I ended my multiday book tour at The Villages with what had been billed as a rally but could be better described as a candid citizen-to-citizen chat.

Brian Stelter / New York Times:
Glenn Beck Stakes Out a More Activist Role in Politics  —  Glenn Beck, the popular and outspoken Fox News host, says he wants to go beyond broadcasting his opinions and start rallying his political base — formerly known as his audience — to take action.  —  To do so, Mr. Beck is styling himself as a political organizer.

Manufactured failure #2: the press, Obama, Asia  —  It's not just me.  Two colleagues with different perspectives — from each other's, and sometimes from my own — marvel at how badly the mainstream American press distorted the picture of what happened during Barack Obama's just-ended tour of Asia.
